In school, I learned about artists and how they were free to express themselves. I was allergic to conformity, and the lifestyle attracted me. I wanted to express myself in a way that slammed people up against the wall.

I left rock and roll professionally at about 49. That's too long as far as I'm concerned. Some people can do it it depends on what you were.

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.

Image
I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.

Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.

I was appalled that the San Francisco ethic didn't mushroom and envelope the whole world into this loving community of acid freaks. I was very naive.

With all due respect to Mick Jagger, who is one of my idols, I think it's a mistake to leap around and sing at 53. When I started, there weren't any women I looked up to. It was Mick. I never saw anybody go on a stage and have that tongue-in-cheek attitude. It was all straight, including the Beatles. I love his attitude, hands on hips and lips out.

I'm very fond of drugs.

The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

'Feminist comedy,' practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII. Chalk it up to the forced female autonomy that occurred during wartime, when Rosie the Riveter went to work in the factories, constructing the Allies' war machines while taking charge of the finances, the home, and the children.

You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you're 25. To me it's embarrassing.

If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.

Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men.

I didn't want to write a book. They made me do it.

All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire

When you get older, it's not about what you did that you regret, it's what you didn't do.

Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking.

I'm a commercial artist, both in music and art.
